Better Today

I'm feeling much better today.
Not feeling as sorry for myself and as emotional.

I signed up for Lamaze Classes today. So wierd. I can't believe I'm doing these things. My classes start on Oct 21st - Nov 18th. 6-8:30pm. 2 1/2 hours is LONG!! Especially when I go to bed at 9pm. I'm going to need to take a quick nap before I go. I also scheduled my breastfeeding class for Nov 25th 6-8:30. It's all becoming so real.

DH is so wonderful. I'm sure going to enjoy the last 3 months I have with him being like this. He's been so wonderful. I know it will all change once I'm not pregnant anymore. Not that he won't be wonderful anymore, but I won't be nearly as spoiled as I am now. I feel like Alanis is going through a growth spurt this week. My tummy gets crampy every night and my skin is feeling stretched. Plus, I can feel her more often, but in different areas.

I'm trying to eat better. Now that I've had a TON of Ice Cream cake. I'm going to really really try not to gain TOO much weight in my last 3 months. I just want to gain the reccomended amount. Not 8lbs every month. So i'm really going to put an effort into eating healthier. It would be easier accept I crave sugar like there is no tomorrow. I mean even if I eat a nice healthy dinner and I'm full, I can't go to bed without something sweet to top it off. I guess if I listen to the dr and have my sweets when I crave them, but in moderation, then maybe I'll be ok.

DH and I are going camping this weekend!! I'm so freaking excited!!! My dad is closing the shop on Friday so I get a 4-Day weekend at camp!! Woo Hoo!!

Mid Thirties

That's me now! 34!
Happy flipping birthday to me.

I'm extremely thankful to be pregnant this year. I love my little girl.
My husband is awsome and I'm so thankful I have him.

Other then that, my birthday was a giant dissapointment.
I felt really let down and really unloved.
But hey, it's probably just hormones right!

2nd Day in a row................

that I'm blogging!!! Been awhile since I did that eh!!

Yesterday I went to the TotTrade. It's a giant consignment sale they hold once a year in an arena. I got some GREAT stuff!!! Tons of clothes in sizes ranging from 0-9 mos. Mostly I got pajamas. I also got a Pack-n-play (in mint condition) for $25. I got a Bassinet in mint condition for $35. I also got a Leapster Play Table, a changing table pad, some floor puzzle piece things (see below links), and a bumbo. Here are the links for some pictures.

It's been a busy couple days. Tomorrow I have to go to Lens Crafters and see if they can fix Russ's glasses. Hopefully they will do it for free since they are less then a year old.

Well, I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted from my busy day!

I guess it's time for an update!!

I know that I'm a slacker.
I have no defense to that. Just everytime I want to do a blog entry, I want to add pictures and on blogger.com, it's a pain in the ass to add pictures.
So I decided to add picture links instead. That's much quicker.

Since the last time I posted, we've come up with a name for our little girl. Her name will be Alanis. I'd put her full name (middle and last), but posting that stuff on the web scares the crap out of me. So, I'll just say her name is Alanis.

We've got most of her room done. We need to hang some stuff up and we still need a dresser and bookshelf.

Here are some picutres of it so far.

She's a tad spoiled.

Today we're going to a TotTrade in Charlotte. It's a GIANT consignment sale they have twice a year at an Arena. I can't wait to get some goodies!!!!

Lets see what else....................................

I'm feeling good. My feet hurt a lot when I walk around or stand too much, but other then that, I feel great. I have a doctors appointment on Monday. I can't believe I'm starting my 6th month tomorrow. 4 more months!!!

Russ is off to Hungary again tomorrow. Blech!

Ok, I have to get some stuff done. I'll post tomorrow about my loot from the TotTrade.

Have a great day!!
